We had a great time camp­ing with a large group of friends! Here are some of the high­lights!
I love to go hik­ing and along the trail Logan found a stick that he claimed helped him walk faster and the good Lord knows he needs that, he is slower than a tur­tle. He said, “Dad, do you know who I look like? I look like Noah with a stick, all I am miss­ing is a long white beard!” Too cute! The one good thing is he stops to smell the roses. Luke was help­ing him dis­tin­guish ani­mal tracks and they found a fos­sil of an ani­mal. Logan thought for sure it had to be a baby dinosaur, but Luke told him that he thought is was a rab­bit. He said, “Nope! It can’t be a rab­bit, because a while ago I was watch­ing this show with grandma and it was another ani­mal eat­ing a rab­bit and they showed the bones. A rab­bits bones are not pointy, so it can’t be a rab­bit. Luke said, “Oh yeah, I guess I need to watch that show then.” You can’t it was on a long time ago and they won’t show it again. Logan was real upset on our drive home when he real­ized that he had left his bones at the park. I almost for­got, Kyle insisted on hav­ing his bike on that trail…I am sure he will never do that again!
The crazy bays boys wanted to go swim­ming, that is all we heard about for an hour or so. They con­vinced us that it would be okay for them to swim in NOVEMBER in a LAKE! Con­nor had found a inter­tube he knick named “LIFE SABER.” They put it in the lake and it began to drift off. Every­one called to Kyle to go after it. When it got too far away, I jumped in clothes and all to save it. The water actu­ally wasn’t too ter­ri­bly cool! I stayed in there as long as I could.
We loaded up in the back of a truck and began our scout­ing for ani­mals with a spot­light. We saw some deer and an armadillo, but NO pos­soms. It was Pos­sum King­dom after­all! Now we have to go home and fig­ure out why it would be called Pos­sum King­dom and NO pos­sums!
They played ten­nis­ball with a carved stick and sent the ten­nis­ball into the Lake, which Kyle had to save in his under­wear on the Life Saber.
The food was awe­some – who could think you would be able to eat that good camp­ing. Erin and Chris made potatos from the boys scout recipe they had! It was a keeper.
When are we going again?
